So...I wrote a book

Took me two years of my life. The whole experience will be forever linked with Figure Skating because the day I received the first e-mail from an editor inquiring about whether I'd be interested in expanding an article I'd written into book form was the day of the Ladies SP in Vancouver.

It's due to be released in October. Am going to give up some of my FSU anonymity (my name is Jake, not Max-I know we're all stunned!) to supply a link.

It must be satisfying to be able to bring together two life passions into a single work like this. Do you feel happy with the end product? Anything you would change now that you're done?

It's been a pretty intense but rewarding process. At this point I am quite pleased with the way things turned out on my end. Dealing with the publisher has had its ups and downs, but overall it has been a remarkable experience. With regards to anything I would change I would only say that I would have a little more backbone dealing with my publisher, but I have heard that for first books it is not uncommon to roll over just to get your work published. Next time I will be a bit more hard nosed.
